Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Goldie.7]

He won't be on it for long.

[Clampy]

I can't say i'm keen on it either. You only have to read some of the comments from some of the impatient simpleton's who leave posts on the official club's facebook page to see the kind of abuse he's likely to get if we lose a game or two or don't sign a player.

[Toronto Villa]

If you look at his Twitter history (the fucking Jimmy Saville one aside) he's been pretty measured in his responses. He doesn't give a ton away and they are quite vague or non specific in nature. Even the one about the players leaving, it's not like he's saying who just that he's confirming players will leave. Something the manager has said all along is one of his goals. I like it personally that he is engaging with fans. It has to be monitored and hopefully he is clever enough to only respond in generalities overall.

[Edvard Remberg]

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

This is the way of the world.  People will find things to get offended by - no matter what he says or does

For someone said to be so good in the air, Gestede doesn't seem to win many aerial duels.

He's not very good with his back to goal or winning flicks. What he's good at is attacking balls from well delivered crosses. The Blackburn montage is evidence of where he is good. However it makes him very one dimensional and limited in how we can use him.

100% right

for a big bloke he has no physical presence and cant hold play up and makes us far too predictable

a sub at best

Like TV, I think he's got the right level at the moment. He's not being totally detached but neither is he sharing valuable club information. He's only young (39 or 41 if I recall) so he's a modern businessman and is obviously more tech savvy.

He has no movement at all, which doesn't create space for our midfield, which made us so predictable and easy to play against last season. I really hope we get a mobile forward who has awareness and the ability to find space.

An absolute must really. We haven't had a forward like that since Robbie Keane came on loan.

Jimmy Savile ?

[Steve67]

3-4 out this week? Must be Veretout, Sanchez, Sinclair, maybe Guzan?

[Des Little]

Sinclair looks sure to go

[Villafirst]

Maybe Bamford this week? Surely Chelsea owe RDM a favour for winning the Champions League?!

Richards? The deal was nearly done before Allardyce took the England job. Maybe Moyes wants the deal completed? Or maybe someone else is in for him? There must be someone who thinks he could be a good player in the right set-up.

[mattjpa]

I would say it is most likely to be players who didnt feature heavily against Nantes. Sinclair seems definate

[johnny from donny]

Jimmy Savile ?

Some idiot tweeted him a picture and asked for a happy birthday, Tony (obviously not knowing who it was ) tweeted back Happy birthday UNCLE Jimmy.
